Thanks for the reply joe h, I'll give the info you posted a try and see if that helps.

I have a problem with my Tailgater antenna that I would like ask about. The Tailgater is approximately five years old and is used with a VIP 211k that is in my RV. While camped recently, during the night, it came up a small thunderstorm, nothing severe and only a couple of lightning flashes...

Software version is 862.

Thanks for the info, I'll check the software version.

Yes, I am aware of that, and if I had ordered the equipment that was to be used in this installation, I would have made sure that it contained a DPP lnbf. I am just checking to make sure of the question that I asked so as to save the person with the equipment the trouble of having to send the...

Will a VIP 211k work with a DPH hybrid, triple LNB? I have seen conflicting information on that question, but the consensus of opinion seems to be that it will work if there is not an H3 receiver in the mix. The installation that I propose to do is the hybrid LNB with a 1000.2 (WA) dish and...

I have a similar trouble in Panama City Beach, Florida. Dish can furnish all the local stations with the exception of the CBS affiliate which is WTVY located in Dothan, Alabama. I know that the Panama City area is within WTVY's DMA but so far neither WTVY or Dish can tell me why they are not...

Spotbeam changes TNGTony Just wanted to get back with you and say thanks for the info. You are correct of course, I do remember the locals were originally on 119. I wondered what happened and now I know. I was in error thinking that I was picking both sats up on the 300 dish.

Another RV related question I use my second Dish receiver for use in my RV. I filled out the form for authorization to use it in this way and in case I wanted to get a change of address to receive the local channels on it. Changing the address and getting the receiver reprogrammed to get local...

What you have said above is exactly correct at the present time. Prior to about 4 or 5 months ago this was not true. I could pick up both 110 and 119 on the D300. My locals have always been on the 110 sat. but the D300 did, indeed pick up this sat at one time. In fact I used it that way for...

I called E* today and inquired about getting service for my RV as I travel a good bit. I found that I have to submit a request form and copy of my RV title and they are faxing the form to me. The question that I have pertains to receiving local stations. Since E* can no longer offer DNS...

Yeah, stupid of me not to mention the location. This was in the Birmingham, Alabama area. The channels did not move from one sat to another, they are still on the same sat inside my house with the 500 dish. Previous to this, the small dish picked up both sats although it is not a 500 dish...

I could not find anything that fits the question I need to ask doing a search of the forum so here goes. The question pertains to getting local channels when one travels to a distant location in their RV. I called D* today to inquire about service for my RV due to the fact that I travel a...

I have been using two antennas at my home, one for service to my house and another for service to an out-building a few yards from my house. On the house I use the 500 dish and on the out-building I use an older, single LNB dish. Sometime back, I think about 4 or 5 months ago, the channels...
